Goa Government GPSC Exam: Important update for Goa Public Service Commission jobs aspirants

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Tuesday announced that the government is conducting the Goa Public Service Commission (GPSC) exams in Konkani language along with English to provide a level-playing field to candidates from all backgrounds. Also, the government wants to have an anthem and a unique souvenir of Goa, which will reflect the state's culture. 

The Goa Public Service Commission (GPSC) should hold its examination in Konkani language also along with English. As per the reports, these changes would provide a level-playing field to youth, who are weak in English, to compete with others. In addition to this  Sawant also said that the government was also planning to have an anthem (official song) for Goa, like Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, which could be played on all important occasions.

In regards to Souvenir Sawant said that when we think of what to gift to our guests during state-level functions, we don't have our own souvenir like other states have. We should decide on our souvenir. As cashew nuts or feni are the popular products in Goa then these things like cashew nuts or feni (popular Goan brew) come to mind when anyone wants to gift a souvenir. 

In addition, he said that the School of Law and Governance, proposed to be set up at the Goa University, would be named after former Chief Minister late Manohar Parrikar, in recognition of his contribution towards the coastal state. The Goa government has set up a budget of Rs. 10 crores for the law school project, for which a separate infrastructure would be created within the Goa University.
